Sutro -Heights, Cliff House and Sutro Baths. 




ji|a : place in the Far West has such a 
world-wide reputation as the old 
Cliff House in the city of San 
Francisco. It has formed the subject of 
descriptions in many a book written by 
visitors from every civilized land ; it has 
been the theme of conversation in hall and 
bower, in smoking rooms and around the 
firesides of countless homes in Eastern 
States, in Europe, in far-off India and the 
Australian Isles. 

Hardly one of the hundreds of thousands 
of strangers brought by the search for 
pleasure or the hope of gain to the El Dorado 
of the nineteenth century, — the sun-loved 
land of California, with its golden hoards 
beneath and its golden burdens above, — 
has failed to spend some happy hours at the 
Cliff House, watching the grotesque antics 
of the seals, dreaming of the mysterious 
Pacific and drinking in the wondrous beauty 
of this unique spot. 

The old Cliff House, it is true, has been 
destroyed by fire, but the new Cliff House, 
built after the model of a French chateau, 
possesses, undiminished and untouched, 
the exquisite surroundings and the historic 
associations that won for its predecessor an 
enviable fame. 

The position of the surf-beaten rock, almost at the entrance of the 
Golden Gate, the tree-crowned heights above, the grand sweeping 
curves of the north coast, the serrated hills of Marin County, with twin- 
peaked Tamalpais frowning over the bay, the long stretch south of 




broad beach, with the never-ending march 
of the restless waves that leap and lift their 
glistening heads and curve and break in 
thunder on the shore, edging the sea with 
bands of foamy lace, present a scene that 
may elsewhere be equaled, but certainly 
cannot be surpassed. 

For many years this portion of San 
Francisco has been identified with the 
personality of one of the most original and 
independent characters of the West, Adolph 
Sutro, the present Mayor of San Francisco. 
In the seventies he won fame and fortune 
by the successful building >f the Sutro 
Tunnel on the Comstock lode in Nevada, a 
task herculean in itself, but doubly and 
trebly so in the teeth of the intense opposi- 
tion of the moneyed powers of the coast, and 
the bonanza miners of Virginia City. 

At the time when the best citizens of San 
Francisco despaired of her future, he settled 
there and, careless of forebodings, invested 
heavily in real estate in the business part 
of town, but especially about Point Lobos 
and in the district alongside the ocean. On 
a hill that overlooks fV, e Cliff House he made 
his home, and out of ie bare and shifting 
sands he created ' ' The Heights, ' ' a garden 
of rest and delight for the people of San 

Francisco, and the stranger within her gates, and as free as the air of 

heaven. 

The grandest work Mayor Sutro has on hand, and the one that will 

perpetuate his name to future generations, is the gathering and forma- 



tion of a library co-extensive with the whole range of literature, science and art. Towards that purpose upward of 200,000 volumes have been 
collected, of which many are the rarest of their kind, and priceless in the estimation of book-lovers and scholars. In the theology and philosophy 
of the dark and middle ages, and of the revival of learning, — a much more fruitful source of modern thinkers' work than is generally supposed, — 
this collection of Mr. Sutro's is unrivalled in the United States. Rich in scientific works of all kinds, possessing almost complete libraries on in- 
dividual subjects, rich in Oriental manuscripts and in classics, it contains treasures of English literature, while in the wide branch of State pa- 
pers, fly sheets and political pamphlets of the days of the Stuarts and Cromwell, no library outside the great ones of England, is its peer. It is 
impossible to give any detailed account of the library, let the following serve as a type of the whole. There are copies of 400 different editions 
of the Bible, many of them extremely rare. There is a Hebrew Bible on big rolls of leather ; there is a Plantin Polyglot, a " Vinegar " Bible, a 
" Thumb " Bible and more than one copy of the ' ' Breeches " Bible. One German Bible dates from about 1466 and is probably from the press of 
Eggesteyn of Strassburg. There are supposed to be extant in the world about 15,000 incunabula or ' ' fifteeuers, " books printed before 1500 A. D. 
Of these 3,700, or nearly one-fourth of the whole, are in the possession of Mr. Sutro. There are copies from the presses of ' ' Fust & Schoeffer " 
of Mentz ; Zainer, Soy, Froschauer and Ratdolt of Augsburg ; Furter, Froben, Amerbach of Basle; Homborch, Koelhoff, Quentell, Trehuena 
of Cologne ; Zarotus of Milan ; Koberger and Sensenschmidt of Nuremberg ; Plank & Pannartz of Rome ; Zainer of Ulm ; Drach of Spire ; 
Eggesteyn, Flach & Gruniger of Strassburg ; J. De Colonia, Jensen, Aldus, Gerretson and Bevilacqua of Venice, and hundreds of other famous 
printers. 

The spot on which the building to contain this library is to be erected is inside an amphitheatre formed by Mount Parnassus, a little south 
of Golden Gate Park on J street. From it a magnificent view of ocean, park, bay and city can be seen by the visitor, and the library structure, 
along with the buildings of the affiliated colleges, — the site for which was given to the University of California by Mr. Sutro, — will for centuries 
link the name of Sutro with all that is broadest and best in the learning of the West. 

Another great work of Mr. Sutro is the Baths. Tike the library the structure has been of long conception, and its execution is equally as 
good. The Bath building stands somewhat north of the new Cliff House, and its entrance from Point Lobos Avenue is a small classic temple. 
From this by broad stairways, flanked with shrubs and flowers, the Museum gallery is reached. Here are placed the archaeological and other 
collections of Mr. Sutro. Mummies and innumerable other curiosities from ancient Egypt, a goodly number of specimens of Aztec pottery and 
art that show a curious resemblance to the work from the land of the Nile, beautiful fans from various countries, Damascened plates, Chinese 
and Japanese swords, wooden ware used by the North American Indians, totems from Alaska, etc., etc., while in the Bath galleries proper will 
be found a superb collection of birds and animals, scenes from Japanese life, portfolios of photographs, and valuable state papers, oil paintings, 
and hundreds of other works of art and curios. From the Museum gallery the visitor can reach the Baths, either by stairways or by the eleva- 
tor. Striking as is the first view, familiarity only makes it more striking. Its size seizes the imagination, yet it is not oppressive, owing to 
the lightness and airiness of the structure. Sitting on a rock, watching the waves of the Pacific, dreaming of a way to utilize the gigantic 
power of the sea, part of this whilom dream of Sutro's is here turned into reality. Tier upon tier rise seats, while at their base, visible to every 
one, are the swimming tanks. The sea water is supplied by an ingenious use of the ocean waves. A basin scooped out of solid rock receives 
the water that dashes over the top, thence it is conducted to a settling tank, from which by numerous small canals it makes its way into the 
various tanks. Of these there are six in all ; the largest one will contain the sea water in its normal state ; the others will be heated to 
different temperatures to suit the varying requirements of visitors. As stated above, the Baths are filled by the ocean itself. Should, however, 
there be tides so low as to necessitate pumping, preparations therefor have been made, and the water can be forced in at the rate of 6,000 gal- 
lons a minute. 



The mere emptying of trie tanks entails no difficulty ; but the emptying of them in such a way as to prevent the return of the once-used 
water required ingenuity. The refuse water in the main outlet, into which all the tanks ultimately empty, is piped hundreds of feet to the other 
side of the headlands, thence passes into the tidal current and away from the Baths. 

Sight alone will give a comprehensible idea of the Sutro Baths— some approximation, however, may be reached by the following figures : 

Length of Baths 499-5 feet 

Width of Baths 254. 1 feet 

Amount of Glass used 100,000 superficial feet 

Iron in Roof and Columns 600 tons 

Lumber 3,500,000 feet

Total Capacity Dressing and Club Rooms 1 ,627 

Shower Baths in all Club Rooms 37 

' ' Private Dressing Rooms 29 

Time required to fill tanks — by waves 1 hour 

" " " " " pumping 5 hours 

Attached to the Baths is a laundry completely fitted up with washer, dryer, wringer and ironer ; the limit of its capacity is 20,000 suits and 
40,000 towels a day. 

Furthermore, that the inner man may not be neglected, there is a restaurant inside the Baths. It consists of three floors 30x75 each, with 
a capacity at one time of 1,000 people. 

The kitchen, 30x50 feet, contains four large ranges, broiler, stock kettle, warmer, etc., and can provide easily for the wants of 6,000 visitors. 

The Baths are lighted by electricity, two 800 candle-power arc lights and a number of 25 candle-power lights. 

All of the Bath buildings are protected on the west side by an enormous breakwater, 400 feet long, 20 feet deep, 25 feet wide at the top and 
75 feet wide at the base, that contains 450,000 cubic feet of rock. There is also another breakwater running east and west, 300 feet long, 25 
feet wide at the top, 75 feet wide at the base, and. 20 feet deep, and contains 300,000 cubic feet of rock. These two breakwaters furnish secu- 
rity against any possible contingency of a stormy sea. Indeed there has been nothing omitted in the construction of the vast building or in its 
thousand details that could give security or add comfort to the visitor within its gates. 



The old Cliff House, destroyed by fire December 25th, 1894, was by far the most widely known building on the Pacific Coast. The old 
fashioned, low ceilinged, two story, rambling house has been visited by every one of consequence that came to San Francisco between the years 
1863 and 1894. General Grant was there on his trip round the world ; Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lome spent some happy hours there ; 
ex-President Hayes, President Harrison and numbers of others were taken to the Cliff to see the seals and partake of the bounteous products, of 
sea, river, plain and mountain, for which California is famed. To read the hotel register is to recite a catalogue of names illustrious in every 
part of the globe. In 1863, C. C. Butler obtained a charter to build a toll road 125 feet wide from Central Avenue to the Cliff, and out of this 
driveway naturally sprung the project of the Cliff House. It was opened October 15th, 1863, by Captain J. R. Foster. As he was an 
experienced caterer, and the drive was popular among the rich people of San Francisco and a show place for visitors, the Cliff House resort 
grew rapidly in favor and attained great success. The first lessee was Captain C. R. Foster and, for nearly twenty years, he managed the Cliff. 
After him, came Hugh McCrum, of Sroufe & McCrum, who, after two years, was succeeded by R. C. Pearson for one year, and then by 
James M. Wilkins. The latter was the last manager of the old, and is the first manager of the new Cliff House. The ruins of the old building 
had hardly time to get cold before Mr. Sutro was making arrangements to raise a new structure. Letters containing suggestions poured in from 
all sides ; plans were offered by leading architects. Mr. Sutro read and considered the various communications, and examined the plans 
submitted. He then gave instructions to his architects, Colley & Lemme, to draw plans for the new Cliff House after the style of a 
French chateau of the seventeenth century. On May 17th, 1895, the builders' contract was awarded to Messrs. Campbell & Pettus who also 
built the Sutro R. R. Depot and the Cliff House stables. Work commenced immediately and the structure was finished January 1st, 1896. 
Looking from the ocean, the building consists of four stories and an attic, while from the Point Lobos road, beside the attic, there are only two 
clear stories. The lowest one is devoted to the polishing of shells, the manufacture of curios, and the electric plant for the lighting of the 
house and the running of the elevator, and contains sleeping rooms for the necessary attendants. On the second floor refreshments will be 
sold at prices based on those of city restaurants. There are twenty dining rooms on this floor, and also shell and curio rooms. The third floor 
consists of the main parlor, the main dining room, the principal kitchen and the main bar, and several dining rooms, which by means of folding 
doors, can be enlarged or diminished at pleasure. Shells and curios will also be sold on this floor. The big banquet room is on the fourth floor, 
also a ladies' private parlor, a public parlor, a billiard room and a bar. The attic is used chiefly as a means of approach to the rooms in the 
turrets, three of them fitted up as private dining rooms and the fourth containing the largest camera obscura west of Chicago. Springing from 
the main roof, in its center, rises the handsome square tower, which according to present plans, is to be used as an observatory room from which 
coign of vantage, the visitors may enjoy the magnificent and extensive view of sea and shore, of plains and lofty mountain chains. A verandah 
16 feet wide, open at the fourth but enclosed by glass on the three lower floors, runs around the ocean side of the Cliff House. The inside 
fittings and furniture have been chosen by Wilkins & Pearson, and are in keeping with the style and beauty of the building. Nothing that 
could contribute to the convenience and comfort of the guests has been overlooked and though the memory of the old house may pass 
away slowly, there is little doubt but that the present Cliff House will speedily win a wide reputation. All the old attractions are there — the 
mysterious Pacific rich in memories of the English bucanneers, of the rich galleons of Spain and its dashing chivalry, the purple mountains, 
the broad beach, the jutting headlands and the entrance to the grand bay on whose margin sits the Queen of the Pacific, into whose lap are 
destined to flow the golden treasures of the awakening world. 





>N. THOMAS J. 
U£ GLYNN, the pres- 
ent City and County 
£ p Recorder, and mem- 
ber of the Board of 
Directors of the Sutro Rail- 
road Company, is recognized 
as one of San Francisco's 
sterling and foremost citi- 
zens. As private citizen and 
public official he has made 
hosts of friends and estab- 
lished for himself a record 
for ability and conscientious 
performance of his duty. 
He was born at New Orleans, 
La., and when but a mere 
child came to San Francisco with his widowed mother. His education 
was obtained in the public schools of this city and while yet a small 
boy he was apprenticed to a marble cutter. During the subsequent 
seven years his energies were bent towards mastering every detail of 
that trade and it was not long before he was looked upon as an expert. 
Taking advantage of an opportunity that presented itself, he then 
engaged in the sheep and wool growing business with considerable 
success, but after a few years at this he again returned to city life 
and began to take active and deep interest in politics. 

In 1883 he was appointed wharfinger on the city front, and held 
the position for eight years, at the end of which time he entered into 
the insurance business, attaching himself to the Northern and London 
Assurance Company. In 1892, Mr. Glynn was honored by the Demo- 
cratic party with the nomination for the office of City and County 
Recorder. It is unnecessary to say that he was elected. The manner 
in which he conducted the office gave such satisfaction that he was 
again tendered the nomination in 1894, and reelected. The subject 
of this sketch is one of those bright examples of manhood who have 
risen from the ranks by their own efforls.

^OL. LITTLE was 
born in Honolulu, 
Hawaiian Islands. 
His father, a native 
of Maine, was a sea captain 
and ship owner who did an 
extensive business between 
China and the Mexican coast, 
making Honolulu the half 
way port. He lost his life 
with his vessel in the harbor 
of Mazatlan. Young Little 
went East via Cape Horn, on 
the U. S. Frigate "Brandy- 
wine" in 1845, was for sev- 
eral years at the Abbott 
School, Fanington, Maine. Entered Harvard in 1853, but did not 
graduate, however, on account of the " California fever. " On reach- 
ing San Francisco he entered the banking house of Lucas, Turner & 
Co., at the head of which was General Sherman. When this house 
closed in 1857, he engaged with the banking house of Parrott & Co , 
where he remained until 1867. He then embarked in the lumber 
trade as partner in the firm of Taylor & Co., in Oakland, with whom he 
remained until 1887 when he organized and incorporated the company 
known as the " Little & Knowles Lumber Co.," having bought out the 
old concern of G. B. Knowles & Co. 

Col. Little joined the City Guard (now Co. B., 1st Regiment) in 
1856, rose through the various grades to that of Lieutenant Colonel and 
resigned in 1869. Col. Little was well and favorably known by all the 
lumber dealers. October, 1888, he was elected President of the S. F. 
Lumber Dealers' Exchange. He was President of the State United 
Association of Lumber Dealers, and twice sent East as the delegate 
to represent California to the meetings in Chicago and St. Louis of 
the U. S. Joint Association. In '92, being out of business, he 
was engaged by Mr. Adolph Sutro as his agent, and upon the 
incorporation of the Sutro Railroad Co , was elected Secretary.

^OHN TUTTLE, one of the well known business men of our city, was born at London, 
Providence of Ontario, Canada, on April n, 1843, a son of Jacob and Lois Tuttle. 
""^Sp He received the greater portion of his scholastic education in Minnesota, whither he 
went in 1856 His entry into business life was with his father at Wabasha, Wabasha 
Co., Minn., in farming and brick making, and there young Tuttle manifested that energy, 
persistence and accuracy of business method that has characterized him all through life, 
and has contributed to the eminent success that he afterwards achieved. He remained with 
his father until the breaking out of the war, when, in response to the call for soldiers to 
defend the integrity of the Union, he enlisted, on July 23, 1863, in the 97th New York 
Volunteer Infantry, and served in the Army of the Potomac, participating with his regiment 
in thirteen different battles and engagements. He was mustered out on March 24, 1865, and 
then went to Menomonie, Wis., where he engaged in the milling and lumber business. In 
1874, he came to San Francisco, and, with his brother, A. J. Tuttle, entered into the brick 
business, retaining that business connection for twelve years. Subsequently, he entered his 
present business — contracting for the supplying of coal, lime, lath, brick and cement — with 
office and yards at No. 516 Haight Street, and has remained therein since. Mr. Tuttle is 
Senior Vice-Commander of Geo. H. Thomas Post, No. 2, G. A. R. ; is a member of Pacific 
Lodge, No. 136, F. & A. M., and is also a member of Fidelity Lodge of the A. O. U. W. ; 
of Fidelity Lodge of the K. of H. ; of the Veteran Guard of California, and of the Builders' 
Exchange. Among the other prominent works wherein Mr. Tuttle has been engaged may 
be mentioned the grading of over 55,000 yards of J Street, the site given by Mayor Sutro to 
the city of San Francisco for the location of the Affiliated Colleges, which work he performed 
in ten days, and upon which more men and teams were employed at any one time than was 
employed on similar work at the Midwinter Fair grounds. It is very doubtful if there is 
another contractor in the city of San Francisco who could have accomplished this herculean 
feat in the same limited time ; and this is simply an indication of Mr. Tuttle' s unfailing 
performance of whatever he promises to do. He also furnished a large amount of the brick, 
lime and cement for the construction of the new Cliff House, and- did all the grading for the Sutro Railroad and Car House. From this brief 
recital, it is easy to perceive that Mr. Tuttle is a man of infinitive resource and indomitable energy, and one whose capabilities will make him 
successful in whatever he undertakes. Mr. Tuttle is a member of the Trans- Mississippi Commercial Congress and in that capacity has ably 
represented the interests of the State of California, and has utilized his comprehensive knowledge and large business experience to advance and 
conserve those measures that would materially augment and promote our mercantile, commercial and financial resources. Espe?ially is this true 
relative to Mr. Tuttle's intelligent action on the subject of comprehensive irrigation and reclamation of our arid lands, and the effective factor 
such reclamation would be in furnishing added revenue to the States and Nation, and the provision that could be thus made in providing homes 
for our overplus of population.

Mme ALMA E KEITH 



MID the innumerable 
''chic " shapes and 
styles of millinery worn 
by the leaders of the fashion- 
able world, none are more ex- 
cellent in color and designs 
than those furnished by Mme. 
Alma E. Keith, whose en- 
trepot at No. 24 Kearny Street, 
has for years been justly es- 
teemed the Leading Millinery 
Store of San Francisco. There 
Mme. Keith inaugurated a 
splendid business, and, to ac- 
commodate the large corps of 
patrons, she recently purchased 
the fixtures, stock, good-will, 
etc., of the store at No. 808 
Market Street, in the Phelan Building, which Mme. Keith has refitted 
and restocked with the same style of goods that are found at her 
Kearny Street establishment, which Avill also continue under ner 
capable management. At both these stores the latest and most 
elegant Parisian, London and New York designs, shapes and styles 
will be found. In fact, in ever}' department of the new, and old, store, 
perfect taste and discrimination have been manifested, and the 
encomiums of the shoppers at her stores certainly warrant the state- 
ment that nothing artistic and beautiful is lacking in the stock there 
displayed. 

A new feature of the Market Street Store deserves special comment: 
The large basement of that store will be fitted up with an especial 
view to supplying the demand for fine materials at reasonable prices, 
so that a woman with a moderately-sized pocket-book, need not 
despair of having a fashionable attire for her head There also laces, 
ribbons, flowers, velvets, felts, straws, frames, wires, everything in

HOMAS MITCHELL McLACHLAN, a prominent carpenter and contractor of this city, 
was born on June 25, 1851, in the Province of New Brunswick, a son of Daniel and 
Margery McLachlan. He was educated at St. John's, N. B., and commenced his active bus- 
iness life by an apprenticeship to the carpenter trade at the age of sixteen years. In 1871 he 
went to Boston and there worked with his brother, A. S. McLachlan, for the firm of B. D. 
Whitcomb & Co., who are the leading contractors of that city, and Mr. McLachlan's experi- 
ences with that firm are among the most pleasing recollections of his busy life and from amid 
varied realizations of many business associations. A. S. McLachlan has also advanced in his 
mercantile life since that period, and he, too, is now engaged in extensive operations as a 
prominent contractor in the City of Boston. In December, 1874, Mr. McLachlan came to 
California and started a business here, wherein he has continued ever since, and has been 
interested in the erection of some of the finest structures in the city, notable among which are 
the First National Bank building, the Pacific Mutual Life building, the Electric Light and 
Power Company's building, the La Grande laundry, the addition to the Hebrew Orphan Asy- 
lum, the Cooper Medical College, the Fine Arts building at the Midwinter Fair, the Hyman 
Brothers' residence, Buchanan and Sacramento streets ; the residence of Mrs. J. E. Yorke, 
corner of Pacific avenue and Octavia street, and the car house of the Sutro Electric Railroad. 
Mr. McLachlan is a member of Mission Lodge, No. 169, F. and A. M.; a life member of Cal- 
ifornia Chapter, No. 5, R. A. M., and a member of Golden Gate Commandery, No. 16, K. T., 
with which latter organization he made the memorable pilgrimage to Boston, Mass., in August, 
1895, to attend the Triennial Conclave of Knights Templar. This trip is celebrated in Masonic 
experiences of members of the Order in California, both for the elegance and perfection of the 
entire appointments and accessories of the Commandery en route, as well as for the geniality 
and liberal hospitality of the Sir Knights on the trip and at Boston ; and the Golden Gate 
Commandery at that city was conceded to be the prince of entertainers, and its members were 
the honored guests of the Boston Commanderies. Anyone who is acquainted with Mr. McLachlan will readily appreciate the fact that he was 
no idle factor in assisting the Commandery to acquire and justify this eulogium, nor in helping to maintain the prestige of California men as 
regal hosts and most welcome guests; but as there were many more like Sir Knight McLachlan in Golden Gate Commandery, this pilgrimage 
was one continual ovation from the time they left the Oakland mole until their return thereto. Mr. McLachlan is also a member of the Builders' 
Exchange, and in his public and private life is alike honored for his thorough rectitude and integrity. Of pleasing personality and cheerful good 
nature, there are few men in the City of San Francisco more deservedly esteemed than Mr. McLachlan.

Of the Pacific Coast 
Established 1875 

N. W. Cor. Polk and 
Bush Streets 



(^ F. ROBERTS, the popular Confectioner of the Western Addi- 
^-*-» tion, first became prominent in connection with the Candy 
trade in San Francisco in the year of 1870, when he came from the 
east to manufacture for one of the principal firms of St. Louis, and 
was the first in the field to introduce the finer kinds of Home Made 
Candies and hand made Chocolates and Creams. He afterwards estab- 
lished himself at the corner of Polk and Bush Streets in 1876, and is 
still at the same prominent corner which has made his name famous, 
and having four native sons, one of whom is learning the art of 
manufacturing, the name is bound to be perpetuated. Roberts' 
famous candies will be world renowned for many years to come. 

Many people lay stress upon their being pioneers in certain lines of 
business, but Mr. Roberts is not alone the pioneer confectioner and the 
first to introduce fine candies on the Coast, but he has always kept the 
reputation for making as fine candies, cream and glace fruits as any 
confectioner in the State.

C 1 L. SNELL, a well known contractor for and dealer in builders' 
•*— '• supplies, whose office is at No. 16 Hayes Street, was born at 
Cummington, Mass., on June 4, 1849, and came to California in 1872. 
Shortly after his arrival he started the express route between Santa 
Cruz and San Francisco, over the South Pacific Coast Railroad, which 
route he subsequently sold to the Wells, Fargo Express Company and, 
entering their employment, remained with them for about eight years. 
In 1888, he entered the lime and cement business and introduced the 
justly celebrated Cieuega lime to the San Francisco market. Of this 
article Mr. Snell is the manufacturer's sole agent, as he is for the 
Alpine plaster. He is also dealer in Nephi plaster and in lath, hair, 
nails, cement, etc. Of the Nephi plaster the fact that it was selected 
for use in the plaster relief work on the new Cliff House and Sutro 
Baths is sufficient testimony to its desirability, durability and efficacy. 
Mr. Snell is a member of the Builders' Exchange.

THE firm of M. Hansen & Co., proprietors of the King 
Planing Mill, is composed of M. Hansen and H. C. 
Hansen, and their extensive plant is located at Nos. 231 
to 251 King Street, between Third and Fourth Streets, 
and there is done scroll-sawing, planing, shaping, mill- 
work of all kinds, and sash, doors and blinds manufact- 
ured and kept in stock, as well as house-finish of all de- 
scriptions. 

The mill is equipped with the latest and most im- 
proved machinery and appliances ; is lighted with elec- 
tricity, and supplied with elevators that are used in con- 
veying material from floor to floor. Consequently, the 
mill is fully and perfectly equipped to manufacture and 
handle all kinds of work. 

This firm is too well known to require any eulogium 
on their work or their varied and long experience in the 
business. About twenty years ago Mr. M. Hansen estab- 
lished the Main Street Planing Mill, and hence is one of 
the pioneer mill-men of San Francisco. Subsequently 
he moved the mill to Sixth and Berry Streets and changed 
its name to the Pacific Planing Mill. This was anteced- 
ent to that locality being the favored situation for lum- 
ber yards, and Mr. Hansen may be accredited with dis- 
covering the eligibility of that location which lumber 
dealers were not slow to perceive and follow suit by 
establishing yards there. He afterward sold his interest 
in the Pacific Planing Mill, and with his brother, H. C, 
about two years ago established the King Planing Mill. 
Mr. Hansen has supplied vast quantities of mill work 
to many of the prominent buildings in the city, notable 
among them being the Sutro Baths. Both members of 
the firm are members of The Builders' Exchange.

A WONDER 



...OF THE... 



-©' 



NE of the Wonders of the Pacific Coast," so wrote a recent prominent visitor from the East to his friends, 
''is its great Daily, the San Francisco Examiner." 

The Examiner's only equals as to circulation are in the cities of New York and Chicago. Eight 
other cities with either more or about the same population of San Francisco have no morning Daily approaching 
in circulation that of the Examiner — although these cities have the advantage over San Francisco, of being 
situated in thickly settled districts. 
Here are the reasons for these remarkable facts : 

The Examiner hesitates at absolutely no expense to get the News — in this respect often setting the pace 
for the great Eastern Dailies. It often anticipates, but is never anticipated by contemporaries. It spares no 
pains or money to get the Facts — disdaining to impose upon its readers with cheap rumors and faked accounts. 
Its literary features are phenomenal. It employs novelists and special writers of national and international 
reputation. Its special departments are managed by persons of extraordinary ability. No journalistic or literary 
talent is too good or expensive for the Examiner. Its printing plant is one of the largest and best equipped in 
the world. No Daily in America is more handsomely printed or more attractively illustrated. Though support- 
ing Democratic principles, it is fearlessly independent in its criticism of men and methods. It is the prime mover 
in municipal reforms and improvements, and public enterprises. It is at the head of great public charities. It is 
the leading medium of exchange on the great social and economical questions of the day. 

The Examiner has so far outstripped all local contemporaries that comparisons are out of the question. It 
is literally " One of the Wonders of the West."

The floor of the stables at the New Cliff House were laid by 
us with Watson's Asphalt Mastic. 

It has come to be a pretty well-recognized fact that a constituent 
factor in the material or work on the New Cliff House is the best 
obtainable. This is assuredly the case in the flooring of the new 
stables, which has been laid by the Pacific Refining and Roofing 
Company, of which Mr. W. J. Watson is the manager. The mate- 
rial of which this flooring is constituted is comparatively new to the 
Pacific Coast, although well known in the Middle and Eastern States. 
It is of Watson's Aspbalt Mastic, an article that has the two import- 
ant peculiarities for this purpose of almost indefinite durability, com- 
bined with great elasticity, desiderata for stable floors, as well as for 
floors of other buildings. The Pacific Refining and Roofing 
Companv's office is at Room 153, Crocker Building, and their large 
works are at the Potrero, where are also refined and manufactured 
many coal tar and creosote paints, tars, varnishes, roofing felts, etc. , 
as well as Watson's plastic slate, a practical fire-proof coating.

L. HOLMAN, No. 228-230 Fre- 
[• mont Street, was born near Exeter, 
Ontario, Canada, on November 14, 
1849, and at that locality received his educa- 
tion and his earlier rearing, which — like so 
many of the integral portions of the brains 
and sinews of our Nation— was on a farm. He 
was thereafter apprenticed to a house carpen- 
ter and on the completion of his time, in 1 867, 
left home, immigrated to Clevelmd, Ohio, 
and worked for the Cleveland Paper Com- 
pany for one year and was then made fore- 
man of the millwright department, under 
superintendent Bright man, and retained 
that position for eight years. In 1875 Mr. 
Holman renounced his allegiance to Canada 
and became a citizen of the United States. 
On leaving the Cleveland Paper Company, 
he entered the employment of the Standard 
Oil Company, at Cleveland, taking charge 
of their No. 2 Works, as foreman-mill- 
wright, and remained in the occupancy of 
that position until he left for California, 
arriving in San Francisco in the Spring of 
1878. On April 3, 1878, he entered the 
employment of J. Hammond, and four 
months afterward took entire charge of all the work in his shops. In 1886, Mr. Holman en- 
tered into partnership with Mr. Hammond and built the extensive plant known as the California 
Car Works, the firm name of the proprietary being J. Hammond &~Co. In 1891, Mr. Holman 
sold out his interest to the senior partner, and resumed his former position as superintendent, 
which he retained until May, 1893. Since that date Mr. Holman has been engaged in contract- 
ing and jobbing on his individual account, making a specialty of doing millwright work, car 
work, and elevators. Among much other prominent work performed by Mr. Holman may be 
mentioned the Electric Elevator of the Tower at the Midwinter Fair, the Electric Cars of the 
Sutro Railroad and the Electric Elevator at the New Cliff House. Also the two Electric Passen- 
ger Elevators and Electric Dumb Waiter in the Physicians' Building, cor. Jones and Sutter Sts.

The Stoneman House — Yosemite. 2a&?^ photo. 121 Post st. 



|0 PREVENT any misapprehension on the part of tourists to Yosemite, it 
is just to state that the Stoneman House, built by the State in 1888, at a 
cost of over £40,000, situated at the terminus of the stage road, is the only 
hotel in the Valley supplied with all modern conveniences. 

From the verandas of the Stoneman the following famous points are clearly 
visible : Eagle Peak, Yosemite Falls, Indian Canyon, Royal Arches, North Dome, 
Washington Column, Tenaya Canyon, Cloud's Rest, Half Dome, and Grizzly, 
Moran and Gla ier Points. 

The Stoneman is equipped with all business facilities ; Here are located ihe 
Post office, Express and Western Union Telegraph offices, and the Stage office 
where all tourists are booked for return trip to Raymond. 



The rates of this Hotel are reasonable and varying, according to room or 
European plan. The rooms are all newly furnished, the beds unsurpassed, the 
table excellent, and the entire management above criticism. 

Therefore, we beg to say t) tourists, remain in the stage until you reach he 
Stoneman (the second hotel) irrespective of what outsiders may say, and your 
wants will be carefully attended to and your visit to the Valley be made in every 
way pleasant. 

One of the summer evening pastimes at the Stoneman is the novel and brilliant 
fire-works exhibition at Glacier Point, which is a sheer elevation of over 3,000 
feet almost directly above the hotel. A huge bonfire of pine knots is built on the 
Point, which when reduced to bright, flashing coals, is pushed off the bluff, and 
trails in tresses of living meteoric flames down the mountain side for one-third of 
a mile. The effect is simply indescribable. The writer, who has witnessed this 
unique pyrotechnical display, would think it no hardship to walk from San 
Francisco to Yosemite Valley simply for an opportunity of gazing upon this 
bewildering and enchanting sight. 

Of all the trails to the heights of Yosemite walls the one to Glacier Point 
should not be missed. It is perhaps the most comprehensive, taken all in all, of 
any that the traveler can take. 

The view from Glacier Point covers the High Sierra, forty miles away to the 
east, the length and breadth of the entire valley, from El Capitan to Clouds' Rest, 
Little Yosemite, Vernal and Nevada Falls, and scores of other scenic features too 
numerous to mention. 

No description, however full of detail, is adequate of this wonderful chasm. It 
was discovered in 1851, since which time thousands of the world's great sight-seers 
have yearly made pilgrimages thereto. We may say that the valley is seven 
miles long, from a half a mile to a mile wide ; that great waterfalls plunge over 
its walls, leaving a white trail half a mile long (or deep), that wonder after 
wonder throngs in upon the view at every turn, startling the eye with their 
grandeur and magnificence ; — we may say this and much more and write until the 
pen drops and the mind grows weary over the task, and the only thing after all to 
say is, Go and see it for yourself; and yours will be a strange experience indeed if 
you do not find it far and away beyond anything you ever dreamed of. To visit 
California nowadays and not see Yosemite is as culpable a neglect as to do Rome 
and leave St. Peter's out. 

For further information, securing stage seats, etc., apply to Mr. Sam Miller, 
613 Market Street, San Francisco, or Mr. J. J. Cook, Stoneman House, Yosemite. 
Also S. P. R. R. Co. offices, Los Angeles, Santa Baibara, San Diego.

David Sanford Cartwright 




c/£Tv 

r^m AVID SANFORD CARTWRIGHT, 
who has been engaged in business 
in this city for nearly a quarter of 
a century, was born at South Bend, 
St. Joseph county, Indiana, on 
February 5, 1840, a son of William 
and Sarah (Smith) Cartwright. About 
1843 he was taken by his parents to Asage 
county, Mo., and in 1846 he removed 
to Ottawa county, in that State, and sub- 
sequently they went to Polk county, 
Iowa, where he received his education in a 
Public County School. In 1851 they went 
to Dallas county, Jowa, and in i860 he came 
to California. In 1865, Mr. Cartwright 
came to San Francisco, and on May 9, 1874, 
he started in the teaming business, which 
he has always followed, on his own account, 
at the location he has always occupied, at 
the corner of Main and Mission Streets. 
He was first married on April 9, 1869, and 
the second time on May 3, 1881. Mr. 
Cartwright is a member of The Builders' 
Exchange and of Cosmopolitan Lodge, No. 
194, I. O. O. F., and one of our honored 
citizens. Mr. Cartwright has done an im- 
mense quantity of hauling, and successfully 
carried out many large contracts during his extended business experience here, not the least of 
which was that done in hauling material, etc., to the Sutro Baths, where many hundred tons of 
iron and more than a million feet of lumber were taken, as well as two hundred and twenty-five 
tons of glass, and promiscuous supplies in large quantities. He is thoroughly capable of hauling 
any material whatever, having successfully carried out the contract of moving the Firth Wheel , 
that was at the Midwinter Fair, to the Sutro Baths, the same having weighed 1,000 tons. He 
has always met his obligations, and justly prides himself on the fact that whenever he says sup- 
plies or material, of whatever quantity, will be handled in a designated time, at that time they 
are sure to be at the place specified. Mr. Cartwright has one son, William A., who is associated 
with him in the teaming business.

)EO. W. Hansbrough, 
contractor and build- 
er, and for some 
time superintendent 
of construction of the 
work on the Sutio Baths, was 
born at Allen town, Clark 
county, Ohio, on February 
22, 1852, and in 1856 was 
taken bj>- his parents to Kan- 
sas. There George attended 
the public schools and learned 
the trade of carpenter and 
builder, his father being a 
carpenter and also being the 
proprietor of a lumber mill 
in Kansas. George after- 
ward went to Colorado, where 
he was engaged in the min- 
ing business and, in 1874, came to San Francisco, immediately engag- 
ing in his present business, wherein he has been steadily engaged since, 
and during the progress of which he has erected man}' prominent and 
handsome buildings, among which may be mentioned the First Avenue 
School building ; the school corner of Haight Street and Masonic 
Avenue; Dr. R. H. McDonald's residence, corner of Waller and Scott 
Streets; the Thomas Lundy building, corner of Post and Jones Streets; 
the residences corner of Noe and Beaver Streets, and at the corner of 
Pierce and Page Streets. These comprise but a few of the many fine 
edifices constructed under Mr. Hansbrough's capable supervision, of 
which capability the Sutro Baths are an enduring and forcible testi- 
mony. Mr. Hansbrough is now interested in business with his 
brother, J. W. Hansbrough.

OSEPH GEORGE 
PETTIT was born 
at Maidstone, Eng- 
land, on February 
9, ) 843, a son of John 
and Elizabeth Pettit, and was 
there educated. He came to 
the United States and to Cali- 
fornia in 1866, and in 1868 
entered the elevator busi- 
ness. In 1891 he commenced 
his present business — the J. 
G. Pettit Elevator Works— at 
his present location, corner. of 
Fremont and Mission streets. 
Among other elevators he has 
erected are those at the S. F. 
Elevators, the Joseph West- 
hall Building, for Franklin Brothers, for Loewe Brothers, for Wick- 
man & Eutgens, for the Baltimore Hotel on Van Ness Avenue, for 
the Sutro Baths and the hydraulic dumb waiter at the Cliff House. 
He was married in San Francisco in 1871 to Miss hlizabeth King of 
London, England. They have the following children Hettie, 
George, Bert, Maud, Irene and Flora. He is a member of the K. of 
P. and of the A. O. U. W. 

The natural presumption would be that anyone who had been in 
business for the number of years that Mr. Pettit has would have a 
comprehensive knowledge of his trade — snch is the conceded fact. 
No one in the city is either a better practical mechanic in his line or 
has a more thorough theoretical cognizance of the scientific laws 
governing the building and operating of elevators, etc.

The Power of "Healing 

7 (57)OETS are born, not made," is an axiom of universal acceptation. If this be true in 
%r& the realms of poetry and art, as illustrated in the lives of gifted men and women whose 
names are familiar as household words, it follows, with equal force and truth, that the 
Healer, whose heaven-sent mission it is to minister to humanity's ills and bring back to the 
shattered frame and debilitated system the strength and vigor of buoyant health, is a power 
that is inborn, and not learned in the curriculum of the medical schools. 

Numberless illustrations of this great truth could be adduced from the pages of history, 
but a striking exemplification of it can be found in our own city in the marvelous success of 
Dr. Nellie Beighle as a healer. 

Dr. Beighle came as a child to California from her native country, Canada. With all the 
energy of her sturdy Scottish ancestry, she made her mark in whatever she undertook, and 
was long known as a successful teacher in the public schools of Sacramento. 

Being averse to anything that savors of advertising, the doctor is only known by the 
execrcise of those remarkable gifts of healing which have brought the blessing of health to 
many a home in this city and State, and puzzled the man of science, who has signally failed 
*\5I to constract a theory to explain it. The press of this city has borne testimony to the wonderful 

^|B|^H tlectric power stored in her magnetic arm. Her gentle presence, diffusing the sympathy and 

soothing power, which have ever marked her ministrations as a healer, would make it seem 
incredible that this delicate being could withstand the long hours and mental and nervous 
strain demanded in the healing of the throng of sufferers which daily awaits her in her 
handsome apartments at the Spreckels Building, 927 Market street. 

It would be a pleasing task to mention the remarkable cures effected by the " Little 
Doctor,' ' as her friends affectionately call her, but with gentle firmness she refuses to refer to 
them by name, simply contenting herself by saying that anyone who desires to know of the 
details can learn of the names of some of the most prominent people in San Francisco, who 
gratefully testify to health restored by the gentle healer. 

It is not a pleasing thought that some of the medical fraternity, alarmed at the success achieved by Dr. Beighle, should have endeavored 
to antagonize her in her healing mission, but, with charity to all and malice to none, the doctor has quietly gone forward in the good 
work to which she has devoted her life. 

The doctor, notwithstanding the incessant demands of a practice daily widening and increasing, manages to find spare moments 
for the graces of conversation, music, and the refinements which are inherent in her nature. 

Her patients, who are also her friends, often express the hope that the roses which now bloom in her cheeks will not vanish before the 
excessive labors with which she taxes herself.
